Product Hardening

Reduce the surface vulnerability of your system by secure configuration.

Reduce the surface vulnerability of your system by secure configuration.

Any operating systems and applications are afforded basic security to provide an almost guaranteed level of business function. However, the security of the operating system and applications can be greatly enhanced through the application of specific settings. System hardening means securing and configuring a system in such a way that it reduces its surface of vulnerability to a great extent. This is done largely by removing unnecessary software, hardening default credentials, disabling unnecessary services, and modifying other configuration parameters from default values so that the system works securely for a focused set of services. It eliminates all the possible security loopholes a particular system and a network might be exposed to.

Liberin’s system hardening service focuses on a review of your inventory of the network-connected systems to understand what you have and how it is at risk before you can completely implement any hardening procedures. This includes reviewing current deployment and operational processes and understanding the threats and vulnerabilities to the various deployed systems and addressing any discovered security gaps. Our expert team focuses on configuration settings to remove unnecessary services, applying firewall rules, enforcing password complexity, setting failed login thresholds, and system idle time-outs. Our System hardening service can also include installing an antivirus program, up-to-date software, a centralized log management solution, and applying vendor-released system patches. Our expert team uses the hardening checklists which are based on the comprehensive checklists produced by The Center for Internet Security (CIS). Our system hardening service will ensure that the system will be protected against security misconfigurations which can lead to any breach.
